About this home

Imagination!! That's all that's needed for this spacious 3/2. Close to virtually everything Mount Dora has to offer, a new owner will just need a bit of vision to realize "what can be"! Just up the street nearing completion is the brand-new Community Resource and Recreation Center. A mere three blocks away is the Mt. Dora Community Pool (heated and open all year) and “Splash Pad”. Just beyond the pool are tennis courts, multiple ball fields in a complete recreational complex. Travel another 100 yards to the Dog Park and bike trail lot. Proceed a few more blocks down Unser St. and you’ll reach the renowned Ice House Sonntag Community Theatre known for top flight live entertainment. Downtown Mt. Dora, a City of Festivals, with its wealth of outstanding restaurants and abundance of quaint little shops is less than a mile away. The Lake Dora waterfront with all its opportunities for boating and wealth of water sports are literally at your doorstep! The world famous Renninger’s Markets just a short hop across the Orange Blossom Trail. This home with a NEW roof a year ago offers two very large bedrooms with a more modest third. The home also features an oversized Great Room along with a dining room adjacent to a large kitchen which offers plenty of elbow room for the most enthusiastic of cooks. The covered lanai provides a touch of the outdoors even when the Florida weather isn’t cooperating.. Lastly, an oversized shed in the very generous rear yard provides plenty of room for all those extras. With the new SR 453 SPUR to the SR 429, Wekiva Parkway, just minutes away- downtown Orlando, Disney, Universal and the International Airports are all less than an hour away. Come, let your imagination soar, and enjoy the best Central Florida, Leke County, and Mount Dora have to offer.
